History

The recorded history of Sattahip began with a civilian. Her name was “Jang” and she owned many lands in Sattahip district. When Abhakara Kiartivongse (son of King Rama 5) went to Sattahip, he wanted to set up a Royal Navy base. He thought this place was perfect to establish a navy base because there were a lot of small islands to protect the base from wind and sea waves. So, he begged Jang for an area around the sea. Jang consented to give the area to him. In addition, Satta (Thai: สัต) in Sattahip means seven and Hip (Thai: หีบ) means a box or barrier. So, Sattahip means seven barriers which are islands that protect the coast of Sattahip district. There are seven islands that obstruct the wind and sea waves : Koh Phra, Koh Yor, Koh Moo, Koh Taomo, Koh Nen, Koh Sanchalam and Koh Bo. Sattahip has the largest navy port in Thailand. People can travel to Sattahip to see many ships in the port such as HTMS Chakri Naruebet, Pinklao Ship, Naresuan Ship, Tapi Ship, Chaopraya Ship, Rattanakosin Ship, Similan Ship, etc. Moreover, on children’s Day, people can go inside the HTMS Chakri Naruebet and see the weapons of the ship.
